i'm such an evil person (a tale told with parenthetical emphasis)

so today was going so well at work. i only worked first shift, and i (after much effort) got the weekend off and i'm going to see liz and derek later tonight. but i had forgotten that three hours is long enough for something really ridiculous, and hilarious, to happen.

i was at the indoor catch pool, doing my thing, when this group of teenagers came in. i always watch them like hawks, because they are the ones who usually cause trouble. (the kids i put in time out, and the ones i got kicked out made me aware of this especially.) so i'm watching them, and one guy in particular is not behaving so well. i had to whistle at him numerous times, and he was still just not listening to me. quite the opposite, he'd question why he couldn't do something (stupid thing to do!), and then sometimes he'd do it again--in an exaggerated fashion. i was so glad when it was time to rotate, but i told the s.w.a. behind me to watch out for them, and i told tasia (head guard) about it as well. lo and behold, they were in the comp pool, where we were! so tasia told the guard to keep an eye on him. i was squeegeeing the pool deck (which is, as it may obviously be, a futile job while people are still in the pool) when courtney (the guard) told me to get tasia. oh, hilarious! he got kicked out! (actually i didn't see it, i had to rotate by that time.)

so anyway, the point of this story is what happens next. so i'm at the bottom of the body slide, when the group of girls comes to me to ask me what he did wrong. they were there, so they should know, but i get to tell them anyway. i got to the splashing, and how he was exaggerating his swimming to splash all over, when this girl chimes in that another one of their group was doing that too. "right cassie?" i look over, and the girl in question clearly was not expecting this. she looked almost terrified. i did not believe that it was the case. but they wouldn't care whatever i said, so i didn't bother. they left, i'm sure calling me a bitch behind my back but, like i care, they're gone. later, as i'm done with my shift, tasia was telling me what i'm guessing happened next. the girl (who, by the way is his girlfriend. 16 and pregnant. i'm glad to see you made such a wise decision there.) i believe yelled at tasia, but definitely yelled at faithann (the manager) and called her stupid (wait, who's stupid?) and broke a door at some point.

i kind of had to laugh, even though it was one of those "dear god, please spare me" experiences. all in all though, i'm really looking forward to this weekend.
